…E ALLORA DISEGNO!
THE PERFORMANCE IS RESERVED FOR SCHOOL STUDENTS
Children know things that most people have forgotten…
Both as a painter and a writer, Keith is an unforgettable artist who wholeheartedly supported the idea that art should be accessible. Susy, his closest friend, is the person he trusts with his innermost thoughts, his fears and personal achievements.
Keith gradually reveals himself as he tells Susy about his experiences in New York, the huge success of his murals in the subway stations. Step by step his bold outlines surrounding lively, colourful forms become an immediately recognizable graphic style.
With child-like candour, Keith and Susy conjure up some of the 30 figures of people and animals painted in the major mural “Tuttomondo”, and in so doing touch on some of the key themes of the artist’s existence: the importance of being free, fear, queerness and loyalty.
A dance theatre piece that aims to free the soul, encourage imagination and help us forge ahead.

Arteviva Teatro
Arteviva Teatro was founded in 2015 with the aim of experimenting with languages that relate not just to words, but also to the symbolic power of action and movement on stage, performance to which linguistically different audiences can relate. Since its foundation, the Association has held theatre workshops for young people and produced numerous shows involving kids. Since 2019 the focus has widened to include dance theatre and opera, especially for younger audiences.
